"This is the best thing I've seen in a couple years."- Bob Cassidy

"No
matter where you are, who you're sitting with, you'll have this.
Predict their thoughts, read their minds. It's whatever you want it to
be, the potential is overwhelming."- Alvo Stockman

From the unconventional mind of Alvo Stockman comes a revolutionary technique for group level mentalism. BFF
isn't just one trick, it's an entire system for prediction you can use
to create a limitless number of miracles. Here are some examples:

At a restaurant, with 3 friends, you offer a demonstration.

"You
guys know me so well... you're three of my best friends. I want to try
something interesting. Whenever we talk, a lot of times, I feel like I
know what one of you is going to say before you even say it. For
example, John, if I said the word 'barn' to you, what's the first word
that pops into your mind?"

"Horse"

"'Horse', right.
Well if I predicted that, it wouldn't be so impressive. A lot of people
would probably say 'horse.' What I'd like to try is something a little
more difficult. I'm going to try to predict a chain of associations
that the 3 of you will have. For example, if I said 'barn,' John said
'horse,' Luke said 'jockey,' and Michael said 'helmet,' predicting the
final word 'helmet' would be considerably harder!

I'm going to
write down a word here, and I'm going to try to start a chain of events
that will end with Michael saying this word. I'm going to cover it with
my hand for now. Now to start off, John, what's the first word you
think of, when I say 'blue?'"

OR

"We've known each
other for a long time. And we've had some great times, haven't we? I'm
thinking of one of those times. I'm going to write down a word that
reminds me specifically of that time, and I want the three of you to
figure out not only what event I'm thinking of, but the word that sums
up that experience."

What's great about this plot is that it
gets your friends to reminisce about some of the best times the four of
you have had and to decide on one and a word. This elevates the mood of
the group and builds rapport.

OR

"I'm thinking of a
time. A time that was special to the four of us. A very specific time,
and I know that the three of you subconsciously know what I'm talking
about. I'm going to write down the time here on the placemat.

I
want John to say a number between 1 and 12. This will be the hour.
Four? Great. Now, Luke. You say a number between one and sixty. This
will be the minute. Michael, 'AM' or 'PM?' Perfect.

Do you
guys remember the time we were at the beach in San Diego and played
beach volleyball with the women's national team? We must have all been
thinking about that subconsciously, because that was at right around
4:37pm, just like I have written here."

OR

Toss out 4
different colored pens. Everyone grabs one, secretly writes their lucky
number on the table in front of them and covers it with their hands.
Using the remaining pen, you write your lucky number as well. All four
pens are returned to the center of the table and after your three
friends have revealed their 3 numbers, you reveal that yours is the
largest one. What's not immediately obvious, is that your number is the
sum of their lucky numbers!

OR

With one friend, write
down a word and cover it with your hands. Ask her to try and read your
mind by looking into your eyes. Have her try to read the word you're
thinking of. "Window?" she asks? "Very close!" you exclaim. "I was
thinking of 'wind'" you say as you uncover the word.

AND MUCH MORE! Read on..

Introduction

[from the manuscript...]

While
the method of this manuscript is a prediction technique, the magic of
it is the involvement of a group of people sitting around bonding and
reconnecting.

In an effort to be thorough, I looked up
"friendship" in Wikipedia and it says it's a term used to denote
co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings. I'm
not sure that's how I would have put it, but now that you know what
friendship is, we can move on.

BFF grew from my desire
for a magical routine I could use to bring people together.
Specifically, I wanted a way to perform for my close friends and family
that made sense, helped us all subtly remember the value of our
relationships and could be performed in a casual environment.

What follows is my solution.

Includes 29 page saddle stiched manuscript and props.
